By Captain Pyke | August 9, 2011 - 9:52 pm

Vegas Khhaaan! is upon us once again and we're as excited as a bunch of tribbles in a quadrotriticale silo. We've been thinking about Creation Entertainment's Las Vegas Star Trek convention since last year's amazing Khhaaan! tour de force. If you're curious about the Trek guest list, you can check out our previous articles (here & here) with the current list. One side note, Subspace Communique favorite Natalia Nogulich won't be in attendance. She's in New York working on David Mamet's new biopic (about Phil Spector) for HBO starring Al Paccino & Dame Helen Mirren. We're sad she won't be there, but dang, what an awesome gig! Recently, Creation released the full schedule for the convention and we've posted it here for your Khhaaan! pleasure. Check out the details below. Oh, and, it's a long post. You've been warned!

WELCOME TO EVERYONE! Thanks for being with us! We really appreciate your visit and we want to make sure you have the absolute best time!

Generally, because of the crowd size, there are no personalizations. 4) Our volunteers are here to help you and we thank them for doing so. However, if you have an issue with ANYONE or ANYTHING please let us know during the convention so we can solve the problem. We can't help out if you don't tell us! 5) Please sit ONLY in the seat you paid for. 6) At the request of our guests, ABSOLUTELY no video or audiotaping PLEASE! 7) Please turn cell phones off and kindly refrain from talking when a speaker or event is on stage. 8) If you ask a question of our guests, please make sure it is a good well thought out question, not about yourself but about the performer. Please no asking for hugs, autographs, photos! OKAY, THAT'S IT: HAVE FUN! And, we LOVE to hear feedback: write to adam@creationent.com or gary@creationent.com
